Wow, Subby made something out of nothing there. The article: Turkish PM biatches and whines that its a conspiracy that his political allies are corrupt, and would kindly like it if the United States didn't pay attention to that sort of thing. Yet, somehow Subby got Turkey wanting to go to war out of that. Eh.

Sounds more like the Turkish judiciary is getting a little too close to calling out the Turkish PM on being the Bribe-Taker-In-Chief for the Turkish PM's comfort, and is looking to blame everybody but himself for the Turkish judiciary finally closing in on him.

OK, so we want to invade, so that means...hmmm...*scanning list*...they can't be white unless...*scanning*...appeasement, aggression, threat to European...*scanning*...right, so they can't be white, confirmed.

But Santa is white and...*scanning*...Anatolia...*scanning*...Turks arrived in 11th century...*scanning*...

I think the UN should say, "No countries can start a war or initiate any acts of aggression on any other country until and unless said county (the intending-to-be aggressor country) has all its shiat together. That is, very low unemployment, debt-free, trade-positive, democratically elected government leaders, etc."

If I'm not mistaken, and I probably am, I thought that ejecting an ambassador without cause constituted a cessation of diplomatic relations. That's certainly not equivalent to a state of war, of course, but it would be a Very Bad Thing if it were to actually occur - which, I strongly suspect, it will not.

So, only the countries who don't have the traditional reasons for starting a war may start a war?

Yup, good to go, casus belli confirmed: Turks made Santa a mulatto.

OPERATION ENDURING SANTA IS IN EFFECT. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Turks are Indo-European and very quick to claim the Euro part. Their ancestors swept east across Anatolia from Europe, settled in Turkmenistan, then swept back west, conquered Anatolia and turned the Arab world on its head by making a secular, highly successful Muslim empire, which persists in slumber until the other Europeans give them permission to take out the Arab nations again to stem the tide of radicalism.

/I think I got that right//This Erd guy is gonna end up arrested and the military will hold new elections just like always because he is a corrupt Islamist.
